Here is something from the German website: I think a deal with Isonics is inevitable. On their website they talk of a `major semi` company with an Advanced 1 Gig processor that was cooler by 35 degrees CELSIUS just by using Si28 wafers. It is known that AMD is working with Isonics. These WAFERS are going to someone; biz.yahoo.com Intel isn`t paranoid enough. sunyvail Here is something from the Isonics web site: Silicon Wafers Natural silicon is composed of 92% silicon-28 atoms. By removing the silicon-29 and silicon-30 atoms, the resulting crystalline structure is more perfect and exhibits reduced phonon-phonon and phonon-electron interactions. This leads to improved transport properties like thermal conductivity. The thermal conductivity of 99% isotopically pure silicon-28 thin films has been measured to be 60% greater than natural silicon at room temperature 1 and 40% greater at 100 oC (chip operating temperatures). Isonics offers epitaxial silicon wafers with 99.9% pure silicon-28 epi layers on natural silicon substrates for integrated circuit applications. The wafers are available in diameters ranging from 4 to 8 inches (100 to 200 mm) and can be doped to specific customer requirements. For more details see our white paper, Isotopically Pure Silicon, and the Frequently Asked Questions. biz.yahoo.com <edit>: isonics.com </edit> Could anyone (with some clue about process technologies) comment? Also, I have no idea if there is anything to this, or if someone is just trying to hype ISON stock, which trades on BB: finance.yahoo.com Joe
